HL2 DELAYED FOR SURE

[ufo_warviper]

Your'e not going to beleive it. Here is the link to the News sytem report and comments:

<A HREF="http://www.forumplanet.com/planethalflife/topic.asp?fid=2348&tid=1170823&p=1" target="_new">http://www.forumplanet.com/planethalflife/topic.asp?fid=2348&tid=1170823&p=1</A>


In addition, Here is The Planet Half-Life's Site Director's "Geiger Counter Report":

OK, so now the Half-Life 2 delay has finally been officially confirmed by Valve. They're, "currently targeting a holiday release," which is the same thing Vivendi told us back in July.
Like I've said (endlessly), I don't care for how Valve handled this situation. They should have confirmed the delay earlier, not one week away from HL2's supposed release. I think telling the European press at ECTS (less than a month ago) that the, "release date is unchanged," was irresponsible. Good marketing? Maybe. A nice way to treat your fans? No.

That being said, dwelling on the delay won't do anyone any good. Bitching and moaning about it won't accomplish a damn thing. The bottom line is that Half-Life 2 is going to ship eventually, and it's almost certainly going to be worth the wait. In the meantime, there are still plenty of other games and HL mods to play.

Rather that time was stolen from us all by Nvidia don't you think?

I think that is probably the case. Gabe was STEAMing (no pun intended) mad about Nvidia's lack of Pixel shader 2.0 performance the month that HL2 was supposed to be released. Another possibility is that the STEAM client was buggier than ever was predicted. If you've been to the Planet Half-Life forums, there has been alot of fiasco about "Steam sucking" lately since the non-beta version was released.
